A possible reason why some torps seem to run too deep, in game.

I've noticed this rather quirky behaviour when locking a target using the 'L' key causes the depth setting for the selected torp tube to change to 20+ ft.

Here's what happens. Say I'm stalking a ship and lying in wait some distance in front of it. I've set the torps' depth, speed, fuze etc. When the ship lumbers into view, hit the L key. The torp depth setting dial instantly changes to something like 20+ ft even tho' I had earlier set it to less than 10.

Recycling the tubes will reset the depth setting to what I had earlier set it at.

I used to have one torp run too deep and miss the target as a result. Ever since I noticed this quirk, and took the necessary precautionary measures, I've never had a deep runner.

Anyone else notice this?
